Getting your kids to put down their phones, video game or whatever else they are addicted to nowadays is hard.
In addition to mental math, they will also learn strategy, forward planning, and develop critical thinking skills that will serve them for the rest of their life! There’s more to the game of cribbage than just counting to 121. Hell, if they are anything like me, at the very least they will be finding combinations of fifteen everywhere without even thinking about it! Counting their hands’ scores, pegging and stealing your missed points in a game of cutthroat will strengthen their basic mental math skills.
